New Class D amplifiers


Hello. I'm very interested in getting your opinion on the newer Class D amplifiers.  There has been a couple of very positive reviews (by Guttenberg) of the Bel Canto C6i and NAD M23.  These, and perhaps some others are offering new technology that significantly lower the class D noise level and other drawbacks.    

I currently use a Class A amp, Pass Labs INT-25 (with Dynaudio Heritage Special speakers) which has a wonderful sound. But I am transitioning to another location, and due to using Roon primarily I find that this system stays on most of the day.  Due to heat and power usage of Class A amplifiers, I'm interested in translating to Class D if I find something comparable.

Good point about Nilai500. Would be great if someone heard them together with one of the GaN amps mentioned in this thread, especially those in the lower price bracket.

Just out of curiosity - anyone here compare between Purifi Vs Nilai Vs GaNFet? I think most posters who have been happy with Class D amps previously owned Solid state amps. Very very few replaced tubes with Class D. Is that right?

I think quite a few folks have gone to Class D amplifiers using tubed pre-amplifiers. @milpai
